Clariant Hostatint UV B Iron Oxide Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary functional advantage of Hostatint UV B compared to standard iron oxide pigments?

A: Hostatint UV B is specifically engineered for enhanced UV stability in demanding applications such as exterior coatings, automotive refinishes, and UV-curable inks. Its surface treatment and particle engineering help minimize photochemical degradation and color shift under prolonged UV exposure.


Q2: Is Hostatint UV B suitable for use in water-based systems?

A: Yes — it is designed for good dispersibility and stability in both water-based and solvent-based formulations. Optimal performance typically requires appropriate wetting agents and high-shear dispersion protocols tailored to the specific system.


Q3: How does Hostatint UV B perform in UV-curable inkjet inks?

A: It offers improved compatibility with common UV-curable monomer/oligomer systems and demonstrates reduced gelation tendency during storage. Its narrow particle size distribution supports stable jetting behavior and helps maintain nozzle reliability.


Q4: What is the typical dosage range for Hostatint UV B in industrial coating formulations?

A: Dosage depends on the desired opacity, color strength, and application method, but it is generally used at low concentrations — typically ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight relative to the total formulation — due to its high tinting strength and efficient light absorption.
